The legendary dive bar Tune Inn on Capitol Hill was shuttered on June 22 after a fire tore through its kitchen. While employees remain on the bar's payroll, they are not receiving any tip money, which accounts for most of the money that restaurant workers earn. A fundraiser was held on Friday at the American Legion Post on Capitol Hill to raise money for the employees who have seen large parts of their income vanish.
